Creating a Hyper-Accessible Website for Blind, Low Vision, and Sighted Users

Being minimally accessible is a given on the web today. But meeting all WCAG success criteria only ensures users are not blocked from accessing content. We don’t just want an avoidance of failure. We want raging success. In this session, we’ll walk through the creation of a website for the Braille Institute, a national organization that serves people who are blind, low vision, and sighted. We’ll cover the unique approach we took to all steps in the UX process — research, design, testing, copywriting, and development in WordPress. Discover ways to create a great experience for people with varying levels of vision, comfort with technology, and confidence as they grapple with the realities of life with vision loss.
